A wise guy once said that "no man is an island" but boy, do some of us wish we were. Solo. In silence. Stranded out in the middle of the beautiful sea. Just me, myself and I. Peopling can sometimes get exhausting, even for the extroverted among us. But for introverts, suffering through the crowded world with unsolicited company and small talk can be pure t*****e.
If you'd rather lay low and often find yourself canceling weekend plans in favor of solitude, you're not alone. Yes, we said it... According to the Myers-Briggs Company, around 56.8% people around the world prefer introversion. Some of them can be found sipping tea while scrolling through social media.
Instagram account @diaryintroverts has more than 277,000 followers just like you. They congregate quietly, alone but together, to laugh at relatable memes and reels about life in the slow lane. Bored Panda has put together a list of our top picks from the page so you that you have something fun to do when you turn down that next social invitation.

True. My angry side is an exception, an extreme caused by extraordinary circumstances.
Meagan Glaser 9 months ago
Literally every human gets angry. Having a normal emotion isn't something we judge others for. It's why you get angry, how you act when you are angry, how you handle things after you calmed down. THAT'S what we judge people on. Nobody judges you for being angry your wife died. We DO judge you for punching a barista in the face because you are angry your wife died.

Oh man I really needed to hear that. I hate myself when I am angry and always somewhat feel like I have imposter syndrome when I am being nice and kind. It's so true though,humans are complicated creatures and we have a rainbow of emotions. It shouldn't mean that we are fake or bad.
Libstak 9 months ago
OK, but hear me out. We don't hide the nice things about ourselves, there is no reason to. We hide the ugly and that is what slips out when we let our guard down. That doesn't mean they are our "true colours" though, our true colours are our conscience that knows right from wrong but can't win every battle every time regardless.

When you're angry, the way you behave tells a lot about you. My boss' husband heard I don't bother with optional webinars and leaned over me, shaking his fists angrily. I'm a short young woman and he's a huge old man. Who knows I'm from an a*****e family. For him, it was nothing, for me it's yet another trauma.

This was actually good to see. I have just had a falling out with someone who has been taking their stress out on me for quite a while, I've tried to not take it personally but eventually snapped and met their anger with my own anger. I didn't say anything I don't stand for but I could have been nicer about how I said it. Unfortunately this person is not interested in talking things over, they think because I snapped once thats it, those are my true feelings and anything else I say after is fake.

Even with my massive amounts of self loathing, this is something that never even crossed my mind. This made me pause and think for about 5 minutes. It's perhaps true for a few people, but definitely not EVERYONE. I am very thankful this isn't another problem I have to deal with. It's statistical improbability that everyone feels the same way about someone. You'll have a mix of people who like, dislike or don't even think about you. Two largest groups are the likes and don't even think about you, and the haters are always going to the smallest group.

My wife and I in the kitchen - "You're in my way" ... "says the person who's in MY way!"
JK 9 months ago
Years ago I had a galley kitchen and my sweet tabby would get under my feet. Didn't take long for him to learn what "Out Of The KITCHEN" meant. So he would sit with his little paws on the threshold and give me inquisitive looks the whole time I was cooking. He eventually ingratiated himself into a 12 pack beer box. So I would take the box down the hall and put it next to the table while we dined. And then he would join us for after dinner cocktails, still in his box, after the table was cleared. I'd put the box on the table, always with guest approval, of course, and he'd just hang with his inquisitive looks while following the conversation. It was like he was the silent life of the party.

Once after my daughter was 18, we were out eating at a restaurant and for some reason I just told her about a few traumatic things from my childhood. We never discussed it again and I feel kind of guilty about it. Like she didn't really need to know my problems from back then. I just thought it might help her understand why I am the way I am with my mom. So, she doesn't think I am just mean and disrespectful for no reason. To be fair, I am more respectful that I feel she really deserves but less than most people should be with their mom's.
Shannon Donnelly 9 months ago
Yes, she really did need to know what you’ve been through. Speaking as a former child (lol), it helps to know that your parents have been through difficult times because it humanizes them and explains why they behave the way they do. Context is soooooo important!!! Your daughter now understands that you aren’t just her mom, but an actual human being that has been through some s**t. ❤️ It makes you a lot more relatable and approachable (in my opinion).

Ok, but when it's the mental health specialists who do that, it's just cruel. I suffered through 3 sessions of family therapy, I was criticised, invalidated or ignored, while parents could insult me openly. I said the abuse led me to neglect my guinea pig and she died of hunger. Parents and both therapists immediately told me guinea pigs die, rodents don't live long.

My husband is (jokingly) convinced there's any a finite amount of sleep available for the two of us, and blames me for stealing it all. Between us we get on average a decent night's sleep ...

True story: Decades ago, back when I often experienced "sleep paralyses demons", I was not actually paralyzed and thus I was able to interact with them. Like, when one would appear at the foot of my bed, I'd throw a pillow at them, making them disappear. Or when one would lean over my bed and whisper "Boo!" in my ear, I'd wave them away with my hand and say aloud, "Ha-ha. Very funny."

You buy them when they're small and only mildly hideous, you forget they grow into 9 foot hell-spawn.

They used to sell light bulbs that lit up in the '60s. Wonder if they're still around.

Well, the plane could crash on an abandoned island, where resources are scarce. It's good to know how to behave then!

What do you think of a house where water is pouring from the ceilings down the walls and is flooding everything.

You feel very responsible for your kitten which is a good thing.

All my dreams are crazy and often contradicts themselves, it makes sense if you go through it but as soon as you see it on paper... like who chooses these dreams

I won't stop procrastinating until something bad happens because of it, but if something bad happens then I have to deal with the consequences, so the only solution is to procrastinate and not fail.🥲

Why was I always the one that ended up with the bent fork at dinner growing up? It never failed. No matter who set the table.

Yes. And it looked exactly like the one in the picture. So I took it into the office, it got nicked, happy days.

Like the one that got caught in the garbage disposal, but you can't throw it away because you can still stir something with it but never do?

Used to overeat, then wouldn't eat, now my eating times are inconsistent. And if my level is below a certain point, don't eat. If my levels are a certain point, then eat and feel sick. Or just eat.

it be great if people stop asociating intovert with mental illness, just becase we dont like people doesnt mean we are mentaly ill, depressed or wanted to die. Maybe extroverts need to shut the f**k up and make place more comfrotable....

It'd be great if you stopped saying that introverts don't like people, as well. An introvert doesn't inherently dislike people or being around people. We just need to make sure we get the appropriate amount of time alone. That's literally all it means.

There is a difference between being introverted and being shy. I know I am both with strangers. Get me with a close friend and I won’t STFU, but I need a break after a while. Doesn’t mean we’re mentally ill or weird (I think statistically more people identify as introverted than extroverted?), introverts just need to recharge after human interaction.

" How often do you find yourself canceling plans for solitude? " My answer is Never. I value solitude to the point where I just don't make plans that would interfere, so I have nothing to cancel.
